What Lex Fridman actually said

  1. Lex Fridman AI researcher and host of the Lex Fridman Podcast
    If you’re stuck in a depressive cycle, even when you really, really, really, really don’t want to do anything, to do something. Try to make progress because the good feeling comes on the end of that. The whole point is to do first and then feel, not feel and then do.
